Summer Engineering Internship

Engineering Intern

Summary

(Position would be working on-site at our Cocoa, Florida location)

You will be part of a team of driven and enthusiastic engineers working to prototype, design,
develop, and test innovative new hybrid rocket engines and vehicle sub-systems for our small
launch vehicle.

We are looking for interns in multiple engineering disciplines, including aerospace, mechanical,
electrical, guidance navigation and control, and systems engineering to work on-site.

You should be comfortable working in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, contributing
to innovative solutions, while demonstrating personal leadership, technical competence, and
attention to detail. A willingness to branch outside your comfort zone is essential… we’re a small
fast-paced company and everyone pitches in when needed. This is an opportunity to get in near
the ground floor of an expanding space launch start-up and have a direct impact on the
development and production of a completely new space launch vehicle.
